Coupler from turbos to intercooler piping

Does anyone know what size the coupler is that goes to the stock piping that then leads to the intercooler is? The stock black rubber coupler with a hose clamp around it? Sorry I can't be more specific, but I need to order a new coupler for my stock piping setup and I don't know the size, and can't get ahold of my engine builder who has the piece with him.

Thanks

I don't see any on their website.... just regular couplers for that price. Are you guys sure both ends need to be 2.75? Thanks again

Anyone know what's up with HighTempSilicone.com's website? It works, but the shopping cart doesn't

Do you have to phone in orders?

It just worked for me.
Also confirm the 2.75 on the "cross-over pipe".

atpturbo.com also has good quality silicone couplers. 2.75" is correct.

just buy whatever off ebay...as long as it is multi ply it will work fine. Anything is far superior to the stock design, and will last for years at any boost levels the stock twins can dish out.

OK....does anyone have a way to get ahold of them? The shopping cart check out is working now, but I need to phone in the order to see if they can allow for Saturday delivery, since I only live a state away and I need them by this weekend.

turbohoses.com also has a good selection, if none of the other ones work out for you.

I already placed my order through hightempsilicone.com, but I still haven't heard anything from them and when I try to call, no one answers the phone. I would leave a message, but their mailbox is full so the operator says.

Anyone have a way to get ahold of them? Guitarjunkie?? I really need to get those lines here ASAP so we can start to put my motor back together.
